Listen to author Alan DeNiro in conversation (with me) about Skinny Dipping in the Lake of the Dead, his debut short story collection and the LBC’s Read This! pick.
Topics include: Small Beer Press, weaving between genres, fabulism, literary fiction, creepiness, letter-writing action, wordplay, Dungeons & Dragons, absurdity, contemporary income disparities, dread, footnotes in fiction, jolts of emotion, reversing polarity between poetry and fiction, the rust belt, and the lonliness of Wal-Mart.
